WestCanMan Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Just now, eyeball said: What is it that bothers you so much about right-wing conservatives using the term inhumanity before AOC did? I am in agreement with people who say that there is a crisis at the border. I never said there wasn't one. It's multi-faceted. It involves human trafficking, drugs, terrorists, people are dying in the desert, the cartels are making a small fortune, families are still getting separated at the border, it's an expensive problem, the tens of thousands of daily interactions between border guards and illegal immigrants will eventually result in an unfortunate incident, and the US can't handle immigration at the current rate, etc. I think that the Dems are working much harder to gain political points from it than they are at trying to solve the problem. Case in point, AOC. She is talking (lying) about intentional inhumanity, not the fact that detention centers are overcrowded resulting in "inhumane conditions". It's worth noting that she also voted against money to battle the problem. Forcing people to drink out of toilets would be intentional inhumanity if it was really happening. Calling the detention centers "concentration camps" is another massive lie/insult at the exact same level. (Ironically, we all know that almost everyone in North America equates concentration camps with the holocaust and think that the holocaust was a horrible thing, but one of the members of the squad said that "she gets a calming feeling in her body when she thinks about the holocaust". You'd think that they'd steer clear of the topic, but I guess it doesn't really matter because CNN will never mention that.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCanMan Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Tlaib: Quote REP. RASHIDA TLAIB (D-MI): There's always kind of a calming feeling I tell folks when I think of the Holocaust, and the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the fact that it was my ancestors, Palestinians, who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence in many ways, have been wiped out, and some people's passports. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/rashida-tlaib-says-thinking-of-the-holocaust-provides-her-a-calming-feeling-shockingly-claims-palestinians-created-safe-haven-for-jews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCanMan Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Then she said this: Quote Policing my words, twisting & turning them to ignite vile attacks on me will not work. All of you who are trying to silence me will fail miserably. I will never allow you to take my words out of context to push your racist and hateful agenda. The truth will always win. Lol. What a hideous loser. In a way it's good to see these high profile say what they really think, but it's sad that they rise so high in politics when they're so loathsome.

The irony in Trump telling these 4 ladies to go back to their 'shithole' country when 3 out of the 4 were born in the USA. By that alone, Trump is saying something vile about the nation he runs. So that might mean that Trump actually agrees with what these ladies say about the USA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but some folk understand that non-white people born in a white country don't actually belong, so sending them back to "their" country makes perfect sense.

DogOnPorch Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Here's what the left should do. 1. Appear to back these four women 100%...accomplished. 2. Let these four women set the tone for the 2020 Democrat election bid...accomplished. 3. Let them rant on and on about crazy azz sheet that only Mao and Joseph Stalin would like...accomplished. 4. When reasonable Democrats try to rein-in these four...heh...mavericks...reject their attempts and cast the reasonable as racists. Accomplished. 5. Call Trump names...always effective...accomplished. 6. Appear to care more about illegal non-citizens in the USA that actual citizens of the USA...a no-brainer...accomplished. 7. Repeat steps 1-6 until impeachment of Trump...though impossible...is achieved. Almost there...any minute, now. It appear that actually, the Democrats are almost as ready as they're going to get.

Once again you guys are off on your own bullshit tangent, just making things up to make yourselves feel morally superior instead of just conducting civil, thoughtful, insightful dialogue. I dare you to try and sit in front of CNN for just one hour and think really hard about whether or not the things that they are saying are actually true or if they're a twisted, politicized concoction that doesn't represent the accurate and meaningful truths of the story at all. Let's PVR the same show and you don't even have to pick out the lies the first time around, you can just find one or two topics that they hit on that you believe in your heart of hearts to be 100% accurate and on point and we can discuss that. I dare you try and find even one thing that you can hang your hat on, aside from a fluff story that's thrown in there to make themselves look compassionate and sincere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to actually paraphrase his argument accurately it reads more like: "You guys seem to think America is really bad, and you're still proudly carrying the torch for the places and the cultures that your family came from, but those places are in fact far worse than America in every meaningful way, so why don't you clean up the places that you came from so that your arguments about how bad America is actually start to make sense?
